Contract From America Senators To Filibuster Gun Control

Friends,

Gun control has been a hot topic in Washington, as liberals intend to severely restrict our second amendment rights. This is a core amendment to our Constitution and therefore a key tenet to upholding the Contract From America as well. So it is no surprise that Contract signers Senators Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Mike Lee wrote a letter to Harry Reid today saying they will filibuster "any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun regulations."

This is a bold move by a group of Senators who wear their conservative credentials on their sleeve and won't back down from an unpopular fight. This pack of tea party conservatives is igniting the base in ways we haven't seen since 2010!

It is a testament to the great work you all have done to hold politicians who have signed the Contract From America to their word. Wherever you stand on second amendment, the Constitution does not mince words and neither does the CFA.

Conservatives Unite Behind The CFA!

Friends,

You can always tell a lot about a group by looking at the people in it. The Contract From America is no different. Since 2010, the Contract From America has grown into the must-sign document for any conservative politician in the country and our record speaks for itself.

Names like Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mick Mulvaney, and Steve King make up only a small segment of the over 100 Contract signers. Pretty impressive conservative company!

Even after the tough election that conservatives had in 2012, the Contract From America has continued to grow in size and importance. Take the the special election run-off in South Carolina's first congressional district for example. In the race to fill Senator and Contract signer Tim Scott's seat, both candidates Mark Sanford and Curtis Bostic have signed onto the Contract!

Our growth has not gone unnoticed. With the publication of our 2016 presidential poll, we shook up the early Republican nomination race to its core which lead to the Contract From America being featured as the lead story on the Daily Caller.

Bostic Signs The CFA!

Today we are pleased to announce that attorney Curtis Bostic, run-off candidate for Congress in South Carolina's 1st district, has signed the Contract From America! Not only does this mean that both run-off candidates for the Republican nomination have signed the Contract, but it means that the CFA has become a"must-sign" for all conservative candidates.

When Mark Sanford signed the Contract last week, we urged you all to pick up the phone and let Curtis Bostic know that he needed to get on board if he was to get our support. Today is the culmination of a great deal of work but also a sign of great things to come!

The CFA Focuses On South Carolina

Last night former Governor and Contract From America signer Mark Sanford finished first in the Republican primary for South Carolina's 1st congressional district. Coming in second and forcing a run-off was attorney Curtis Bostic.

While it is a victory for our movement to have gained Mark Sanford's support, his run-off with Curtis Bostic means we must focus our attention on making sure Bostic signs the Contract! Please call Bostic's campaign headquarters at the number below and demand that he sign theContract From America!

Curtis Bostic

(843) 870-0739

If we are to make the sort of changes we seek in Washington we are going to need EVERY conservative candidate is EVERY federal race to sign their name to the Contract From America.

We are at a critical time in our nation's history and we can't take any race off. South Carolina's 1st lost a great congressman in Tim Scott, and now we owe it to the people of the Palmetto state and the country to elect someone who shares the core principles found in the Contract From America!

So stand with us, pick up the phone and call Curtis Bostic's campaign office today! The future of our country depends heavily on the actions we take in races just like this.

In Freedom,

Take Our Book Club Poll!

We here at the Contract From America love to read, and believe it is the foundation of building a more thoughtful and educated political platform. That is why we want to create America's Book Club; a list of books chosen by you that we all can read, discuss and debate.

Therefore, we want to know what type of books are favored most by grassroots tea party conservatives. As a group that grounds itself on a strong sense of American history, it is important for conservatives to know what shapes our worldview, and how it is reinforced in the modern age. To help in that process we have created a poll to dig deeper into reading preferences.

CFA's2016 Poll Makes Headlines!

Friend,

For weeks now we have been telling you that our 2016 Presidential poll would play a major role in shaping the upcoming Republican primary as well as early jockying among conservative candidates and donors.

Well today, news that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) leads our poll was the lead story on the major conservative news site The Daily Caller! The article profiles our poll and and the unique preference model it is based on.

If conservatives want to be successful in the next Presidential race, they need to be unified and honest with each other about what positions we believe the next conservative candidate must hold on the most pressing issues.

March 7, 2013 -- Houston, TX -- Last week, Contract from America launched a 2016 Presidential Poll at www.contractfromamerica.com/polls/poll to gauge the opinions of grassroots conservative activists. After 181,000 votes have been cast, Senator Rand Paul is the early frontrunner, with Governor Scott Walker and Senator Marco Rubio rounding out the top three. Governor Chris Christie is in last place.

Our 2016 poll is based on a crowdsourced, Condorcet preference voting model which prevents the vote-stuffing found in other polls and elicits deeper voter preferences.

The Contract From America's 2016 Presidential poll is the first poll in the nation to take a deeper look at how grassroots conservatives view the early Presidential horse race. If people would like to participate in the poll they can find it at www.contractfromamerica.com/polls/poll.

Contract From America

The Contract From America Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to pushing for the adoption of the Contract From America, a 10-point crowdsourced call for fiscal conservatism. Nearly a half million activists participated in creating the Contract, and over 80 current U.S. Senators and Congressman have signed the Contract in support of its bold reforms

The President Who Cried Wolf

Friend,

For months we have been hearing that the sky would come crashing down if the sequester went into effect, and that a 2.5% cut in federal spending would have untold consequences to our economy. Well the sequester went into effect, the sky is intact, and we all are still alive. What was the cause of all this hyperbole? Politics. The President had no desire to get a bill passed to avoid the sequester. Instead he played politics and used scare tactics to get the Republicans to either cave to his liberal, big-government demands or take the blame for allowing the sequester to go into effect.

The facts are clear: if we really want to fix Washington's problems we'll need to cut A LOT more than 2.5% of the budget!

This is exactly why the Contract From America is more important now than ever before. The oath of office sadly isn't enough to keep our politicians from playing dirty politics and running our economy deeper into the ground!

The Contract From America has become a rallying point for all those who seek greater accountability in Washington. Whether it be the Congressional race in South Carolina's 1st district or the 2016 Presidential election, people across America are demanding all candidates sign their name to the 10 founding principles of the Contract From America!

Donate today and help keep our efforts moving forward.The American people are mad, and they aren't going to take it anymore! If politicians from both parties want to play politics on our dime after they signed the Contract From America, they will have all of us to answer to.
